Peugeot 306 HDI windscreen washer jets not working

[rowey200]

Assuming that this will be a failed pump as when you try to activate the windscreen washers the wipers kick in but the washer pump does not.

A quick google seems to indicate that the washer pump is on the side of the bottle, access via the drivers wheel arch?

Has anyone taken this job on, any top tips?

Found the washer pump below, I assume I need a twin port (one for front screen and one for the rear?)

Any help and guidance gratefully received

Its a simple job,a few screws and plugs around the wheel arch cover,pull it back to expose the washer bottle.The pump just pushes into a grommet in the bottle,simple multi plug and two washer pipes.
Mind you before you go fitting a new pump,it would be a good idea to put a test light on the plug to make sure you have feed there when operating the switch.

The washer jets on these are rubbish and do have a habit of blocking. Before replacing the pump make sure it is actually dead, eg you can't hear it when you pull the stalk. Test it by pulling the pipe off one of the jets under the bonnet and firing the washers - if water shoots out the pump works.

Replace the jets with Xsara ones as they actually work properly but if they're blocked you can remove them from inside the bonnet and blow them out with an airline.

Thanks for the advice folks - replaced the pump in 10 mins without removing the wheel, all sorted
